Default Mt. Baker

I went to Mt. Baker in Washington this past January and I am lost for words. This mountain is just sick!!! It has so many natural drops and quite possibly the best back country riding I have ever encountered (besides heli boarding around whistler. There is so much untouched powder everywhere here and the best part of it all is that the mountain is never busy. I was there for about 9 days and I never had to wait more than 2 min in line!!!! Their board park could use some work but if you are a freerider this mountain is just ridiculous! The only downfall is that it is hard to get a place to stay out there due to it being a national park. There are no accommodations on the mountain. The drive to the mountain is breathtaking!!

Yep. Mt. Baker is the bomb! As for parks, not many people go to Mt. Baker to hit a park; it is all about the free riding there. The BC is sick, but also demands a lot of respect from the user. I would second your recomendation about hitting Baker!

This is true... when I went last year they had some dope box like rails set up and it was a blast. I do agree with the backcountry comment, it really demands the respect of the user. Baker can be a dangerous place without the right equipment. I have never had a chance to ride Mt. Hood, where you are from. How is it?
